What type of boundary is the mariana trench?
convergent boundary
What type of movement occurs at each plate boundary?
Two plates can either converge, diverge, or transform. A convergent boundary is when two plates come together, a divergent boundary is when they move apart, and a transform boundary is when two plates slide against each other in opposite directions.
What two plates formed the mariana trench?
The Marianas (or Mariana) Trench is formed by the subduction of the Pacific Plate as it is forced under the smaller Mariana Plate at the bottom of the ocean between Japan and New Guinea.
What is the plate boundary of the aleutian trench?

What is the deepest spot in the world?
Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench is the deepest point in Earth's oceans. The bottom there is 10,924 meters (35,840 feet) below sea level.
Is the Marianas trench convergent or divergent?
The Mariana Trench is a convergent plate boundary.

What is the name of the deepest convergent depression found in the ocean?
Mariana trench
What is Mariana Trench and what does it have to with tectonic plates?
The Mariana Trench is the deepest trench in any of the world's oceans. It's in the western Pacific, east of the Mariana Islands (south of Japan and north of Papua New Guinea). The trench is located on a convergent (coming together) plate boundary where subduction is occurring (one plate is being pushed underneath the other). Trenches are a common occurrence at convergent land-sea plate boundaries.the Mariana trench is the longest trench in the world its in the pacific ocean
What type tectonic plate boundary forms the Mariana trench?
A Transform Fault ZoneIn the textbook Earth Science and the Environment (4th Edition) by Thompson and Turk. Located on page 163, it shows that Tonga has a Convergent Boundary. A convergent boundary is where two lithospheic plates collide head on.
Where is the ocean to ocean plate convergent boundary located on earth?
Oceanic-oceanic convergent lead to the formation of Mariana Trench.
What tectonic plates are involved with Torga trench?
The Mariana trench of Japan is on a convergent boundary
Is the Mariana Trench a convergent boundary?
yes it was, the pacific plate is descending under the Eurasian plate
What is the difference in a trench and a ridge?
Trenches are formed by divergent plates, Whereas Ridges are formed by plate in collision.
What type of movement occurs at each plate boundary?
Two plates can either converge, diverge, or transform. A convergent boundary is when two plates come together, a divergent boundary is when they move apart, and a transform boundary is when two plates slide against each other in opposite directions.
